11. This is from an aide who will lose his job, greedy aide at that. This is NOT from Lautenberg himself

it is always the staffers who are greedy, as it is their job they won't have when a new person comes in.

but remember- Lautenberg retired a few years back, and only because no one else could be found did he come out of retirement. He never planned on still being senator.
(it was because another whiner, Bill Bradley disappeared from the face of the earth after dribbling his basketball and leaving the arena like a spoiled little brat after 2000).

Oh my God. 88? Unless you're trying to win the Strom Thurmond TwilightGardener Jan 2013 #1
Isn't Lautenberg the same one who was implicated in the Abscam scandal? Tempest Jan 2013 #2

Absolutely NOT - there are no scandals with Lautenberg - none even suggested karynnj Jan 2013 #12
Corrected hours ago if you took the time to read the posts. n/t Tempest Jan 2013 #13
I went BEYOND saying he was not involved in ABSCAM karynnj Jan 2013 #14

I'm shocked by the ageism here at DU. It saddens me. By all accounts, Lautenberg has done a good Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2013 #23

If Booker desires a Senate seat ... 1StrongBlackMan Jan 2013 #3
No, but he should at least afford Lautenberg the decency and respect to speak with him. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2013 #24
Also, Booker should publicly commit to remaining a Dem if elected Ken Burch Jan 2013 #39

Someone not wanting to lose one's job makes one greedy? Seeking Serenity Jan 2013 #26
But they should not speak for the Senator. I don't think he would have run again anyhow. graham4anything Jan 2013 #28
I don't know if Lautenberg is planning to run for reelection. Beacool Jan 2013 #16
I agree! that would be really wrong. (D) Lautenberg has been pretty good from what I know, and to Divine Discontent Jan 2013 #17
Booker has always been very ambitious. Beacool Jan 2013 #21
Lautenberg needs to retire...period. BluegrassDem Jan 2013 #19
How do you know this? You don't. It's speculation. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2013 #25
I have really mixed feelings on this one. Lautenberg is SOLID but he'll be 88 in 2014... Rowdyboy Jan 2013 #20
I'm starting to see this about Cory Booker, too. First, his defense of Bain Capital really irked me. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2013 #22
He seems to really like Wall Street in general. amandabeech Jan 2013 #33
